Euphorbia amygdaloides - Poinsettia

continental : Let’s try to keep the ground fairly damp, watering every 1-2 weeks with 1-2 glasses of water; when the weather is very harsh and the temperatures are below zero, watering can be interrupted.

alpine : Every 2-3 weeks water the soil, trying to wet it deeply; keep the ground constantly moist, although we must avoid water stagnations. Usually 0-1 glasses of water are used.

mediterranean : We suggest watering regularly with 2-3 glasses of water, trying to keep the growing substratum pretty cool and moist; if the climate is very cold we can reduce watering. 0-1 weeks should go by between irrigations.

continental : For the the Euphorbia amygdaloides let's prefer very sunny locations, directly exposed to sunrays.
The Euphorbia amygdaloides isn’t rustic; during the cold months it is grown in the apartment.

alpine : For a balanced development, it is best for the the Euphorbia amygdaloides to receive as many hours possible of direct sunlight.
During the cold months these plants should be grown in an apartment because they can’t stand the cold; it’s best to keep the minimum temperatures above 15°C.

mediterranean : Plant which needs to be exposed to direct solar rays.
In the winter it’s best to move these plants in the apartment, as they need minimum temperatures above 12-15°C.

Fertilization Euphorbia amygdaloides : It’s not necessary to give fertilizers to apartment plants during the wintry months, since the short days cause a period in which the plants don’t produce any vegetation; we’ll start fertilizing again towards the end of the winter.

Treatments Euphorbia amygdaloides : Towards the end of the winter, before the buds get bigger, let’s apply a defensive treatment against the most common fungi diseases, using a fungicide based on sulphur and copper.
